**The MDGO has set the following (mandatory) guidelines for us to follow when calculating Am2 and Am3 payouts at all "MDGO Feature Events"

​​To help address the sandbagging issues at the Michigan State Championships, a motion was made and the Motion was passed:
​
a. For the Am2/Am3 (including the women) divisions in Featured Events, if there is a player that takes 1st or 2nd place and that player has never had a PDGA membership, the Featured Event will deduct from that player’s payouts $35 to cover the cost of buying them a PDGA membership.
​
b. The remaining $10 was initially paid by the player at entry.
​
c. The last missing $5 is because the MDGO is an Affiliate Club.
​
d. Non-current PDGA members do not apply.

​​Northern Waters Series will comply with this added requirement​​, as well as the requirement that all payouts be Discraft-only. Thank you for understanding! less
